Four thoughts about Pee Wee Hunt

“

Pee Wee Hunt was an old friend of my mother's. Every time he and his band played anywhere near our home in Cortland, NY we would go see him. His music inspired me to become a professional musician. Like Pee Wee, I had several careers (I formed a Dixiland band aboard ship when I was in the Navy) until finally dedicating myself to making music full time. Today I still, at age 73, play a glass harmonica daily on the street in New Orleans.

I mnet him when he pulled up inthe summer in a pink cadillac convertible to stay with his brother. He would have his wife ruth and children Holly and Larry, and we would have fun playing. He was a very big man, with a very loud and powerful appearance.

I was a good friend of Mr. Hunt's daughter, Holly, while attending a Junior College in Vermont in 1958-1959. I continued my friendship with Holly after I moved to Boston in 1961 and spent a weekend with her and her family in Plymouth, MA. I remember that Mr. Hunt, Holly & I had a pillow fight before going to bed. He was a "regular" guy, just Holly's father to me. I know he was on the road a lot and away from his family whom he obviously loved.

When I was a young girl in 1958 I toured America with a children's choir from Ireland "The Little Gaelic Singers". We sang in Green Mountain College, Poultney, Vermont and met Pee WeeHunt's daughter, Holly. She travelled around with us in our bus to several concerts. We became friendly and kept in touch for a couple of years. During the time with her we met her father but I do not remember too much about it. I would love to know where Holly is now for I often think of her. She liked to be called "Bridie" I think it made her feel Irish like one of us. Holly would have known me as Maureen McGuinness. I would love if anyone reading this knows anything about her and maybe let me know.
